MDCAT 2013
218 questions, every answer verified. Free to try.
ℹ️ 218 of 220 questions available; Q104 and Q112 are withheld because none of their printed options is correct. Option letters match the printed paper. Where the old UHS key contradicts clear science the correct answer is used and explained.
When the official key is wrong, we say so.
Every answer here is checked against the official key published for that paper. Where the key and the subject disagree — and on some papers that happens dozens of times — we mark the answer the science supports, and the explanation on that question says plainly that we have departed from the key and why. One paper's published key turned out to belong to a different paper code entirely.
Where a question cannot be resolved at all — an unreadable scan, a missing diagram, an option the original paper never printed — we switch it off rather than guess, and the paper's own note tells you how many are missing and which. That is why a paper can read 218 of 220 instead of a tidy 100%: the number is the truth about the paper, not a target.

- Q1 · MDCAT 2013 · Waves
The wavelength 'λ' of a wave depends on the speed 'v' of the wave and its frequency 'f'. Decide which of the following is correct?
- A.f = vλ
- B.f = λ/v
- C.f = v/λ
- D.f = vλ⁻²
Show answer
Answer: C. f = v/λ — f = v/λ, since v = fλ.
- Q2 · MDCAT 2013 · Fundamental Concepts of Chemistry

- B.2:35.5
- C.1:71
- D.2:70
Show answer
Answer: A. 1:35.5 — Mass ratio = molar masses: H2:Cl2 = 2:71 = 1:35.5.
